| This section is dedicated to
DIY bands, looking for cool and accessible
small venues in France or in the United Kingdom,
as well as musical associations organizing
gigs. |
|
| Each venue or association featured
here will answer a list of questions in order to
describe precisely what it has to offer to artists,
from conditions to play there to the technical equipement
available, room capacity, etc. |

| Here's the current list of questions
for the venues and associations. If you manage

the list! |

| This section is meant to be
a group project, involving people living
in different parts of France and the United Kingdom,
in order to develop a network on both sides of the
Channel. Firstly, each contributor will briefly
introduce his/her town with some key information
such as the available public transport, some tips
for cheap accomodation, local contact to hire gear
if needed, etc. Secondly, each contributor will
meet some small local venues or musical associations
who might correspond to this section, telling them
about the project to see if they'd like to feature
the site. |
|
| So, whether you are a musician,
photographer, musical journalist, etc... or simply
an indie music lover, if you want to get involved
with Turn-Ons Indie Attitude to help artists and
bands, please contact
me! :) |
